THE EFFECT OF LIME UPON SOIL.

The properties OF lime with re-
gard to farming are as follows:
Heavy soil is rendered loose and
mellow by it, and the properties OF
most kinds of soil are 80 changed,
physically, by the application of
lime as to become very conductive
to the growth OF farm productions.
Lime decOmposes the particles Of
manure in the ground, and thus
favors their quicker absorption by
the roots of the cereals. 1t makes
the straw of the grain sitter, thus
preventing the lodging OF stalks,
causes stouter growth, larger ears,
and more abundant kernels of prob.
ably better quality. Lime keeps
the ground free from many weeds,
but unfortunately does not destroy
the so called Canada thistle.
The belief that light, sandy soil
is still more dried out by lime, or,
as some say" is made too hot" Is
obsolete and erroneous, and just
the contrary has been proved. By
the application OF lime, sandy soil
receives the very things which il
needs. Light, sandy soil, in which
neither wheat, nor peas, nor clover
will grow, can be made to yield
quite satisfactory crops ofthe same
by the application of lime. POta
toes raised on freshly lined sol
seldom get, scrufiy and unseemly
There are farms OF light, sandy sol
wherelime has.been applied for the
last Fifty years, and where they in
tend to discontinue it's use, because
the yields Of straw and hay have
become so considerable that there
is no lack Of stable manure, and the
crops generally are all that can b.
reasonably wished for.
Pat sixty bushels of lime pei
acre on heavy soil, and forty bush
els on sandy soil; the former
however, needs it every ten OIL
twelve years, the latter every 81,
or eight years, since the power Of
lime is exhausted much quicker

1t was the night before Christ

Approaching q mansion, Aubrey
Montcolm grasped his mule by the
ears aud brought him under a
second.story window. Much silence
was lying round about, mixed with
darkness. Aubrey gave a whistle
in low voice. The window above
went slowly up, and the owner of
head put it out.
Then came a voice like the music

The Quaker Thou.

When the novelists Of the last
century had occasion to introduce
a Quaker into their fictiOns they
took care to mark him well by
OVERLAPPING his speech with "thee
and thou" and, indeed, at one time
this phrase was a common slang
term for the Friends. The use of
these pronouns is partially a sur
vlval of the time when the lower
orders employed them habltually
and is curious instance OF the
correctness Of phrase surviving
among the very persons who, next
to pedants and scientists, are
currently credited with being the
corrupters of the language, while
the educated had fallen into gram
NAUTICAL incorrectless. The Quaker
writers affirm, however. that the
use of lyon" instead of the "thOn'
of the grammars originally rose
from desire to compliment the
person addressed by ascribing to
him the importance belonging to
two or more, and wrote many
tractates in support Of their view
BE this as it may, it is indisputablt
that technical correctness was or
their side, and sovereign and news
paper editor are alike incorrect
when they use the imposing 1--WE

How They Talk of Us Abroad.

The following telegram appears in the
New York Tribune. As to one part of it,
there is good deal of truth, but as to the
latter portion, We cannot substantiate it.
Our Chinese reporter has been round the
town, and cannot find any placard answer
ing to the description. There may have
been such an advertisement when Chief Nc
Cullough was here. The following is the
telegram:
san Francisco, April 3.-Chief Mccullough,
who arrived few days ago in command of
the brig VIM. G. Irwin, from the Sandwich
Islands, relates remarkable story about
Chinese enmity against King kalakaua. He
says that Chinese firm paid bride of $70,-
600 to a native officer holding high posi-
ton TO secure his influence in obtaining the
exclusive right to sell opium in the Hawaiian
Kingdom, and that the Chinese firm in ques-
ton failed to secure the prize. They then
demanded the return of the bride, which was
refused.
Mccullough further says that the Chinese
have decided not to submit to what they con-
slider an outrage, and that when he left the
walls in Honolulu we're covered with hand
bills in Chinese, offering reward of 5000
for the head of King Kalskaux. 1t is said
that the guards have been doubled about his
palace.
